Oil field explosion leaves two families hoping for healing

They think a cigarette might have caused the explosion. If this facility had been fenced and locked, Melissa Helsel-Williams, 24, would still be alive loving her family and Joseph Crisp, 24, wouldn’t be in the hospital suffering with severe injuries.
This is another reason the Bartonville Mayor should thank Runner Susan instead of trying to intimidate her by saying trespassing 16 times during a public meeting. Shanty Town is getting a fence!
Think of the lives that might have been saved because Runner Susan busted Shanty Town.

ANYONE can wander around many of these facilities. I saw no fence around the New London tanks. Any intruder alarms there? Security cameras? Lights? Guards?
Runner Susan probably did a big favor by her attention. I hope someone sends this info to that Mayor.
Some around town were not happy about the way the mayor tried to intimidate this lady.
